June 1, 1863 - Monday - 160 years ago today

Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Crittenden's Corps - Wood's Division - Wagner's Brigade 

General Burnside offers his resignation of the command of the Department of Kentucky, as he disagrees with the release, and banishment to the Confederacy, of Clement Vallandigham.  Lincoln does not accept the resignation.  Burnside stirs further controversy by ordering the suppression of the publication of the Chicago Times, due to "disloyal and incendiary statements".

Burnside and Rosecrans are attempting to co-ordinate advances toward both East Tennessee and Tullahoma, but are not succeeding as of yet.
